(“everyone has a couple,
and like armpits they usually stink”)

I’ve never seen our nation in such great divide,
rioting in the streets has become a common thing.
Some burn our flag, having no sense of pride,
others bus in protesters to continue their fling.
Rioters march in common, with police held at bay,
for those demolishing statues I’ve contempt, not pity.
But truth be known, looters want things their way,
they seek to change history of many a great city.
The First Amendment is our voice’s source,
but rioting of any kind should beget extreme force.
